NIS_GROUP This variable contains the name of the local NIS+ group. If the name is not fully

qualiﬁed, the default domain will be appended to it.

NIS_PATH This variable overrides the default NIS+ directory search path. It contains an ordered

list of directories separated by ’:’ (colon) characters. The ’$’ (dollar sign) character is

treated specially. Directory names that end in ’$’ have the default domain appended

to them, and a ’$’ by itself is replaced by the list of directories between the default

domain and the global root that are at least two levels deep. The default NIS+ direc-

tory search path is ’$’.

Refer to the Name Expansion subsection in nis+(1) for more details.

WARNINGS

HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is supported.

LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports the industry standard naming ser-

vices based on LDAP.
